The SEAC Driver is a technologically advanced instrument, designed and manufactured to provide all the information a freediver or spearfisherman needs. Check www.seacsub.com for any updates to this manual. IMPORTANT WARNINGS GENERAL WARNINGS • WARNING! Read the user manual fully before using the SEAC computer. Using the computer incorrectly will void the warranty and can permanently damage the computer. • WARNING! Only use the dive computer after you have read all sections of the instruction manual and you have understood how it works. • WARNING! The dive computer is not a substitute for diver training and should only be used by divers who have been properly trained and who have earned the appropriate license issued by a Certified Teaching Association. • WARNING! Freediving entails risks of syncope, taravana, pulmonary edema, and hemoptysis, and in general other risks related to diving: even a thorough reading of this manual and use of the instrument does not exclude potential dangers. • WARNING! The computer cannot take into account individual physiological changes that can change from one day to the next. For this reason it's good practice to use the device conservatively and cautiously, remaining within the limits shown by the computer in order to minimize the risks. 3 • WARNING! It is strictly forbidden to freedive in the 12 hours after diving with scuba equipment! Violating this rule could considerably increase the risk of decompression sickness. • WARNING! Do not share one computer between two divers during the dive. Every diver must have their own instrument to provide information and save only that diver's data. • WARNING! Before diving, you must check the battery charge. Do NOT dive if the low battery icon is shown on the display. Always check that the display shows no signs of any malfunction and that it is clearly legible. • WARNING! Always check that the settings are correct for your dive, and don't allow anyone else to tamper with your computer before the dive. If it has been tampered with by another person, check that your settings are correct. • WARNING! It is important to keep in mind that your body undergoes changes, even daily changes, that a computer cannot account for. If your physical condition is not excellent, or if you feel any physical problems, do not dive! 4 DRIVER TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS WATCH: • 12/24 clock with minutes and seconds • Second time setting • Option to switch between primary and secondary time • Calendar • Stopwatch • Countdown • Alarm DIVE COMPUTER • Function indicating the minimum suggested recovery time between one dive and the next: MSST (Minimum Suggested Surface Time) • Full setting of alarm parameters for dive time and depth • Visual and auditory alarms • Auditory alarms can be enabled or disabled. • Fresh/saltwater setting • User-replaceable batteries • Session-based logbook • Option to set the sampling rate to one second or two seconds • Switch units of measure between metric (meters and °C) and Imperial (feet and °F) • PC/Mac interface with general information and dive profile (optional) 5 SWITCHING ON THE DRIVER If the Driver display is off, press the “M” button for at least five seconds to turn it on. SWITCHING OFF THE DRIVER If the Driver will not be used for an extended period, you can turn the instrument off to save energy in the battery. • WARNING!
